The Oil Delivery System is responsible for the retention of coloring pigments in the hair structure; in the process of contact with it, deep penetration processes are activated. The composition acts from the inside, getting into the core of each hair, giving it an increase in its protective properties. Even thin curls become denser, voluminous and expressive.
Inoa Loreal Professional owes its main action to mineral oil, which, in combination with monoethanolamine, an alkaline ingredient, makes it possible to enhance the result. Of the oxidizing components in the composition - citric and ascorbic acid. Glycerin helps to achieve the required consistency.
The oxidant is available for sale in three versions at once:

Instructions for use
A simple instruction for the use of professional paint allows even inexperienced people to easily cope with solving problems of shade change. It is important to consider that you should not wash your hair before coloring; it will be enough to do this the day before. If the strands are too oily, you can refresh them in the morning and dye them in the evening, otherwise there is a high risk that sebum will prevent the dye from completely saturating the structure of the strands.
Before staining, you will have to stock up on disposable gloves, a brush or sponge for application, a wooden stirring stick, a porcelain, glass or ceramic container. Protect your shoulders and back from paint with a hairdressing cape. Next, you should proceed in order.
- All ingredients - an oxidizing agent and a coloring base (if there are three components, you will additionally have to add an oil gel), are mixed until smooth. It is impossible to store the composition - in the air it quickly loses its properties. You need to immediately start applying.
- Spread the resulting mixture with a brush on the root areas, then process the hair along the entire length. Care should be taken that the layer is not excessively thick and thick. The tips are especially carefully worked out. No need to heat or wrap your hair in plastic wrap.
- The duration of exposure is 35 minutes. Time is counted from the moment the roots are completely covered. It is not recommended to keep the paint longer than the prescribed period.
- After the expiration of time, the hair should be thoroughly rinsed under a warm stream of water until the liquid is completely transparent. For optimal washing of curls, it is imperative to use a special shampoo from the product line.
To preserve the shine and gloss of the strands for the entire period, while the dye remains on the hair, it is imperative to use only the aftercare products recommended by the manufacturer. Then the results of the color change will delight as long as possible. In addition, Inoa Post shampoo will prevent color pigments from washing out.
When dyeing 100% gray hair, the color of the base palette is added to the selected shade in equal proportions. On previously not dyed hair, the composition is distributed immediately along the entire length.
Reviews
Reviews about the use of professional paint "Inoa Loreal" look quite positive. Since this is a tinting agent that is not intended for permanent staining and a radical change in shade, the results of its application are washed off after 4-5 weeks.But the ammonia-free formula allows you to gently affect even heavily damaged strands, restoring them vitality and healthy shine. Women and girls who used this paint appreciated the rich concentrate of oils in the composition, which allows even heavily damaged curls to be brought back to life.
There is a thickening of the hair shaft after dyeing, the saturation of the color solution. But there are some subtleties. The color palette of the dye is represented mainly by a natural line of shades, and even fashionable tones are based on light brown. This inevitably affects the chances of getting an unpleasant green tint if the previous stain gave a reddish effect.
Inoa is considered a caring product, therefore it is suitable for toning even heavily damaged hair. But do not expect too much from her: the composition paints no more than 70% of gray hair, lasts a short time on bleached hair, and rinses off faster. But in general, the paint "Inoa Loreal Professional" is highly appreciated by both amateurs and professionals of hairdressing. The compositions of this line are used in salons by stylists working with the brand's paints. This is the best recommendation for those who do not dare to try new hair toning products from a world famous brand.
